Today I am starting this thread. It will be our community's Gratitude Journal. Share anything you are grateful for in your life - be it small or big. It can be that you had a good night's sleep yesterday or talked to a friend after a long time or simply watched the sun rising. It can be anything !

Feel free to post to this thread, anytime, any day, as many time as you like.

Give praise with water,

With storms of rain and thunder

And the small rains that sparkle as they dry,

And the faint floating ocean roar

That fills the seaside villages,

And the clear brooks that travel down the mountains

And with this poem, a leaf on the vast flood,

And with the angels in that other country.

A List of Praises by Anne Porter

I had a really enjoyable dinner yesterday, after a very long time. It made me feel so good and refreshed. smiley

I am definitely thankful for onesies - they keep me warm and it means I don't have to think about what to wear when I'm just at home!

I'm grateful for the fact my best friend survived jumping off a bridge last night. He's still not awake though, so I'm real worried too.

@SunFern - Hi! I love LOVE this idea.

I am thankful that, although my insurance is being doofus, my dietitian still wants to meet with me. It's more up to me now as far as when and how long but I feel very thankful because how she expressed to me that she really does want to see me, I am important to her, she cares about me - not just the payment from my insurance or the client she'll see after me. I am thankful for Allison, my dietitian/nutritionist.

@cyanPlatypus6370 kudos to the nutritionist. i am glad that you have got such a supportive nutritionist who rose beyond her professional duties to help you. this is a beautiful and inspiring story, platy !

and probably also a reflection of your fighting spirit to rise above difficulties in life. heart
